£190 flat, £240 house, follow-ups included. Send a photograph first — a good proportion of what gets reported here is a beetle.
£190 for a flat and £240 for a house, covering the complete programme including the follow-up visits cockroach work requires.
Send a photograph before you book. Cockroaches are uncommon in this kind of housing, and ground beetles from a garden get mistaken for them constantly.
A single dark fast insect on a kitchen floor in an older house with a garden is far more likely to be a ground beetle than a cockroach.

German cockroaches, the ones that spread rapidly through a building, are carried in and are far more common in flats over commercial units than in a period house.
Cockroaches need warmth, moisture and food — which every kitchen has. They arrive on cardboard packaging, in a second-hand appliance, in luggage, or through a failed drain. A spotless kitchen is as vulnerable as any other to a box arriving with something in it.
Typically three to four weeks across the visits, because of the egg-case cycle.
Clean, yes. Do not deep-clean the harbourage areas immediately before we come — we need to see where they are.
Often not. Send a photograph and we will tell you before you book anything.

No. They thrive where units adjoin and where there is constant warmth. A house infestation is almost always brought in.
Very possibly. Ground beetles and other harmless beetles wander in from gardens constantly. Send a photograph.
Egg cases are not killed by treatment. They hatch afterwards, so the treatment has to still be active when they do.
It can. Oriental cockroaches prefer cooler damper places and are associated with drains, cellars and subfloor voids — and older clay runs fail over decades.
German are smaller, light brown, breed fast and are carried in. Oriental are larger and very dark, prefer cool damp places, and often point to a drain or external source.
No. They need warmth, moisture and food, which every kitchen has.
Yes, and there is nothing to pay. It happens frequently on enquiries from this kind of housing.
Send a photograph before you book. It is often a harmless beetle, and we will tell you.
